SSL Certificate Security Alert

Why does the Security Alert box pop up each time I try to access a DMS file?

A digital certificate was created to communicate authenticity of security to web browsers. Once you install the certificate as a Trusted Certificate Authority this message is no longer displayed.

Why does the Security Alert say, "not trusted"?

By default the browser assumes nothing can be trusted. It is up to the user to accept the security provided by the certificate authority.

How do I install the certificate as a Trusted Certificate Authority?

You can install the certificate in your local certificate store, which tells Internet Explorer that you now trust the company that issued the certificate. Here are the steps necessary to install the certificate to your local certificate store:

 

1. Click "View Certificate"

2. Click "Install Certificate..."

3. Click Next.

4. Click Next.

5. Click Finish.

6. Click OK to close the Certificate Import Wizard window. Then click Yes to close the Security Alert window.
